Shows how gossip and the responses to it form an ongoing dialogue through which the moral reputations of trading women and businessmen, and cultural ideas about moral value and gender, are constructed and rethought. This work reveals a different perspective on the globalization of the market economy and its meaning and impact on the local level.
